Only when it first came out. It was only after the initial hype of the first first viewing that many fans started to sour towards it - the Internet is rife with people agreeing that Episode VII had a unoriginal plot purely designed to get the nostalgia arising. It isn’t just me. There are quite a few also that see the prequels as better than VII. I think that the Last Jedi only increased this sourness, and VII will largely forever be associated with TLJ as being awful.

Even today there isn't much hate directed a TFA. It all sits squarely on the shoulders of TLJ. Also I don't think it is fair to associate TFA with TLJ, they are very different from one another.
